Research Streams
My research is organized into streams representing major thematic areas. Substantive streams focus on specific policy domains, while methodological streams represent analytical approaches and tools that cut across applications.
Cancer Early Detection & Prevention
Using microsimulation models and cost-effectiveness analysis to improve cancer screening programs, reduce disparities, and inform clinical guidelines.
Pandemic Preparedness & Response
Developing decision support tools and surveillance systems to help policymakers respond effectively to infectious disease threats under deep uncertainty.
Equity & Society
Examining how social determinants and structural factors shape health outcomes and economic opportunities to identify policies that promote equity.
Modeling & Simulation
Developing computational models including microsimulation, agent-based, and epidemic models to understand complex systems and evaluate policy interventions.
Robust Decision Making
Applying frameworks for decision-making under deep uncertainty to identify strategies that perform well across a wide range of plausible futures.
Causal Inference
Evaluating causal inference methods for estimating policy effects from observational data.
Tools & Packages
Creating open-source software tools and R packages to support reproducible research and enable researchers to apply advanced methods.
